Joint Reconstruction
The Orthopaedic Adult Reconstruction staff is internationally recognized for expertise in the fields of adult hip and knee care. Each year in the United States, more than 400,000 total hip and knee replacement procedures are performed. Continuously evolving techniques and innovations make these replacement surgeries uniquely beneficial to patients who suffer from arthritis and other painful hip and knee conditions. These procedures can alleviate problems caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, congenital deformity and other diseases which restrict an adult patient’s active lifestyle. To achieve optimal patient outcomes, a team approach is essential.
